negotiating the nonnegotiable
I read a book many years ago now. Negotiating the Nonnegotiable - by Daniel Shapiro.
I remember reading at the time and thinking. Wow, this is a pretty great model for understanding conflict.
Around that time too I was exposed to the idea that a lot of, maybe most, conflict stems from a differing understanding/definitions of the words being used by the conflicting parties.
And i still think that is true.
A lot of conflict I have seen in my life is not usually about the thing on the surface. It is all the invisible things, the context, surrounding the thing being argued about.
The emotion. Whether individual or nation scale.
I’ve always been interested in that.
It’s probably that people pleaser in me.
lol.
Watching the sunrise right now.
It’s a beautiful morning.
Grateful for God, Grace, and Good food.
Amen, brother.
Stay strong out there and remember to breathe.
